Smarter Control For Seasonal Demand: How Aquana Smart Valves Help Utilities Manage Frequent Water Shutoffs

Communities characterized by high turnover—such as college towns, seasonal resorts, and vacation rental hubs—place a unique strain on water infrastructure. Frequent manual shutoffs and reactivations consume significant labor hours and increase the risk of infrastructure damage. When service is restored to unattended properties, the sudden re-pressurization can trigger leaks, burst pipes, or meter damage that may go undetected for weeks.

Shifting toward remote-controlled valve technology allows utilities to manage these fluctuations with precision. By automating service cycles, operators can avoid the costs of field dispatches while gaining the ability to identify abnormal flow patterns instantly. This proactive approach minimizes non-revenue water loss and protects aging assets from the stress of erratic demand curves. Integrating these smart solutions transforms a reactive manual process into a scalable, data-driven operation. Discover how to enhance your system’s resilience by exploring the full details of these remote management strategies.
